BOSSA NOVA LAD (8) has had two runs back from a lay-off and went down fighting last start over a similar trip to this last start at this track. Rates well and down in the weights is worth including. Set Weights INDON LASS (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at Colac, beaten 2 lengths into sixth after being in contention on the bend. Faces an easier assignment so she is perfectly placed to score. SEASONS IN DE SUN (7) resumed over 7f at this track last start and after showing little early speed hit the line with purpose to finish third, beaten 1.3 lengths. Among the chances. HALCYON EAST (9) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 7½f at Yarra Valley. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
